8 Family Date Night Ideas You’ll All Absolutely Love

Family Date Night Idea #1: Game night

Family game nights are always so much fun, and it is such a great way to spend an evening together as a family.  Play a game that is suitable for everyone in the family and listens to the giggles that follow.

 

Family Date Night Idea #2: Make dinner as a family

Yeah, you have dinner at home every night, but I would bet that it is just mom or just dad that does the cooking day-to- day, am I right?  How about you make it a family effort where everyone takes part in making dinner.

 

 Idea #3: Dinner and a Movie

  Dinner and a movie aren’t just for romantic outings.  Kids like dinner and a movie out too!  If you are on a budget, you can find a second run theater that shows movies that have been out for a while or hit up the matinee hours at a nearby theater.

 

Family Date Night Idea #4: Have an evening picnic dinner at the park

If it isn’t yet dark, pack a picnic meal and head to the park.  It is nice to get some fresh air while the kids can burn off some energy.

 

 Idea #5: Bowling

Bowling is a very fun way to spend an evening together.  You will all be busy cheering for one another to get that strike!  Again, if you are on a budget, most bowling alleys offer a discount night making this a very reasonably priced date night.

 

Family Date Night Idea #6: Movie night and living room campout

Make a bed out of pillows and blankets on your living room floor and pick out a family movie to enjoy from your comfy family bed.

 

Family Date Night Idea #7: Visit an arcade

While an arcade is probably rarely on your to-do list of places to go, it can be a super fun way to spend time with the family.  For you, it will bring back memories of your childhood trips to arcades, and for your kids, it will be a blast to be playing games with mom and dad.

 

Family Date Night Idea #8: Family bike ride or walk

Are you are looking for a family date night idea that keeps you active?  A family activity that I love it after dinner takes the whole family outside for a family bike ride or even a family walk around the neighborhood or neighborhood park.
